Some customers have reported difficulty with ICBC licensing, including delays and incorrectly processed tasks. Additionally, several customers have expressed concerns about the attitude of the staff, citing examples of condescension, belittling, and public mocking of customers.
Licensing and administrative tasks
The reviews highlight issues with the administrative aspects of the business, including difficulties with ICBC licensing and slow processing times. One customer even reported being without photo ID for two months due to a mistake made by the insurance broker.

Staff behavior and professionalism
Many of the reviews focus on the behavior and professionalism of the staff, and the results are disturbing.
